Cuthbert Brodrick designed the Corn Exchange in Leeds, UK, completed in 1864. The oval shape and modern glass roof was inspired from the Paris’ corn exchange. It was a large central space for the city to trade its goods. The Victorian building uses historical stone aesthetics with new innovative technological techniques.
